Answer:

Food Shortages and Economic crisis

Step-by-step explanation:

Food shortages and economic troubles sparked the French Revolution in 1789. In August 1792, King Louis and Queen Marie-Antoinette were imprisoned, and the monarchy was abolished in September. Louis was tried and sentenced to death by a slim majority in January 1793.
